Abby

Abby, a Belgian Draft, born on June 28, 2001, is the offspring of a PMU mare who was pregnant when Equine Advocates rescued her at a Winnipeg, Canada slaughter auction along with 11 other mares in 2000. Abby is best known around here for all the funny faces she makes as you can see in this photo! She spends her day with other former PMU mares and the offspring of PMU mares. We call this field "The Big and the Beautiful" and they sure are!

Alice

Alice is a Miniature Donkey born on April 29, 2002. She came to Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary in November 2012. She is the sweetest animal and just adores spending time with people as well as her best buddy, Lisa. They both live up at the Main Barn. Needless to say, Alice and Lisa get lots of love and attention from our staff, volunteers and visitors!

Angie

Angie, a Draft Cross, was born on June 4, 2004 to former PMU mare, Barbra, who Equine Advocates rescued that same year in Canada, along with 45 other slaughter-bound PMU mares. Angie was born in the US. She had been adopted for several years but came back to us in August of 2011. She has her mom’s eyes and face, but not her color. Barbra was a large Belgian Draft who sadly passed away on April 22, 2017. Angie lives in a large pasture that we call "The Big and the Beautiful" with other PMU mares and PMU offspring.

Annie

Annie, a Belgian Draft, born around 2001, was the youngest of 46 Canadian PMU mares Equine Advocates rescued between October 2003 and March 2004. For that reason she does not seem to have as many physical and emotional scars as most of the other mares rescued during that six-month period. She was adopted when she arrived and gave birth to a colt named Connor. Both horses came back to us in 2008. Annie spends her days with other PMU mares and PMU offspring in "The Big and the Beautiful" field! Photo credit: Jim Craner

Arnold

Arnold who once raced under the name, “Cluster Bomb,” was rescued by Equine Advocates on January 16, 2007 from a New York breeding farm, along with two other emaciated Thoroughbreds, Mikey and D.A., who also reside in the area of the sanctuary we call "After the Finish Line." A handsome chestnut gelding, Arnold was born on April 7, 2001. He spent more than a month being treated for emaciation and severe skin disease at an equine hospital immediately following his rescue. Dr. Bill Barnes who treated all three Thoroughbreds told New York Times reporter, Joe Drape, “They had no groceries. They were starving to death.” That was then. Look at Arnold, Mikey and D.A. now!

Austin

Austin is a registered Standardbred gelding born on May 14, 2005. As a trotter, he raced under the name of "One Awesome Master" with earnings of more than $270,000. After sustaining several injuries and undergoing multiple surgeries during his lifetime, Austin became a candidate for permanent retirement at a sanctuary in 2015. We were happy to provide him with a forever home where he will live out his days in the company of other horses, many of whom are also former performance and work horses. Photo credit: Kara Heniges

Babe

Babe, born around 1991, is a former Work Mule from western Pennsylvania. She and her sister Belle were involved in an accident while pulling a plow and Belle was injured. Both were about to be sold at a slaughter auction when Equine Advocates came to their rescue and purchased them. The sisters will never be separated. They spend their days with pasture-mates Henry and Marilyn in their area we call "Comedy Central" here at the sanctuary. Photo credit: Holly Scism

Babe is proudly sponsored by supporters from Minneapolis, Minnesota and Port Washington, New York!

Bandit

Bandit, a Pinto Pony, was born in 1986. He was rescued by Equine Advocates in 2001 from a car garage in New Jersey. He was adopted at the time of his rescue but came back to us in 2007. Bandit spends his days with Spirit and Kip in an area of the sanctuary we call "Goodfellas." Photo credit: Kara Heniges
